I had 2 dreams about my hometown* last night, 1 of which was lifting related. I had to join a new gym there, which was more racquetball club than black iron. I set my lifting shoes down for a second, and when I turned around, they were gone. I went to ask the manager for an immediate refund. Then I woke up.

The second dream was about a high school reunion. A crush actually gave me a warm hug and kiss on the cheek, so technically it could not be called a nightmare.

*Ever hear of Poughkeepsie? I'm sure you could quickly Google movie one-liners where it was the butt of jokes. People laugh, but it produced the Bell brothers (Mark, Chris, and Mike) of "Supertraining", "Slingshot", and "Bigger, Faster, Stronger" fame. Never met them, but was acquainted with their parents, since we went to the same church for a while.

Gym 1200

SQ: 250x3. Wrist wraps on my workset helped avoid the right elbow pain I've been feeling lately.

DL: 305x3, 2.

Gym 1300

Intensity P (1.5): 109x3, 2

You must have seen The French Connection when Gene Hackman tells a perp he's going to bust him for " picking his feet in Poughkeepsie ".

Gym 1100

SQ: 255x1, 225x5x2

BP: 180x5. When I do more than one rep per breath, I need to be mindful of my bar path, and locking my elbows at the top of each.

P: 96x5x3

Tomorrow, Saturday, the gym is closed for a USSF meet. Although I don't usually train on Fridays, I did today, rather than just waiting until Sunday. I treated it like a TM recovery day, of just light SQ and BP.

5/4/18
Gym 1300

SQ: 205x5x2

BP: 145x5x3. I did all 5 reps on one breath, since it was so light.

I'm not sure if that light day Friday did anything good for my stress/recovery/adaptation. I wanted to squat 255x3 today. But I stopped at 2, and that second seemed grindy.

5/9/18
Gym 5:00pm. 90 minute drive to go 30 miles in distance. GPS rerouted me and did not honor its 40 minute estimate.

SQ: 255x1, 235x3x3, 225x3. Probably will do descending sets of triples next volume day (240, 235, 230, 225).

BP: 181x5. Worst bar path ever. Got out of my 2 reps per breath cadence after rep 3.

P: 99x5, 3x3

Gym 0800

Intensity P 2.0: 111x3, F+2*

Volume BP: 164x5x3

*I realize "F+2" looks strange to the eye. I failed the first rep of a planned double. I couldn't lock it out after it got way in front of me. To my credit, I didn't quit but got the 2 reps I was wanting.
